Function Soft skin mode Color night rec Effect This makes skin colors appear softer for a more attractive appearance. This is more effective if you record a person closely from the torso up. This function allows you to record color images in very low light situations. (Minimum required illumination: approx. 2 lx) Fade: ≥ The thumbnails of scenes recorded using fade in become black (or white). Help mode: ≥ Recording and function settings cannot be performed while in help mode. WEB MODE: ≥ You cannot switch to web mode while recording. PRE-REC: ≥ PRE-REC is canceled in the following cases. j If you change the mode. j If you press the MENU button. j If you turn the unit off. j If you start recording. j 3 hours have elapsed ≥ After setting PRE-REC, if recording starts in less than 3 seconds, or while the PREREC indication flashes within about 3 seconds after initiating the quick start operation, motion pictures taken 3 seconds before pressing the recording start/stop button cannot be recorded. ≥ When in normal recording mode, the thumbnail displays for recorded scenes will be the initial images from recorded scenes, while when in long recording mode, the thumbnail displays for recorded scenes will be images present when the recording start/stop button was pressed. ≥ The date indication for scenes recorded using the PRE-REC function will be the date when the start/stop button is pressed. Therefore, the date indication when displaying thumbnails or during playback may be different from the date when the recording actually started. Intelligent contrast control: ≥ If there are extremely dark or bright parts or the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear. Soft skin mode: ≥ If the background or anything else in the scene has colors similar to the skin color, they will also be smoothed. ≥ If the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear. ≥ If you record a person in the distance, the face may not be recorded clearly. In this case, cancel Soft skin mode or zoom in on the face (close-up) to record. Color night rec: ≥ Recorded scene is seen as if frames were missed. ≥ If set in a bright place, the screen may become washed out for a while. ≥ Bright dots that are usually invisible may be seen, but this is not a malfunction. ≥ Using a tripod is recommended. ≥ In darker areas, Auto focus may focus a bit slower. This is normal. 53 VQT2L14
